class=gmail_quote>Yes Gennaro, I think you are correct in that the planet
would surely be better off without us. Much better.<BR><BR>But I doubt we
are going to give up our home that easily, so we would be wise to
concentrate on how to better live on this blue/green ball spinning through
time and space rather than dream about some kind of escape capsule that we
will likely never be able to engineer... or afford, for even a handful of
the billions of us.<BR><BR>Ron<BR><BR><BR>----- Original Message ----- From:
